Robert Bellah  

Definition

  • In seeking to make sense of modernity in the classical tradition of sociology as a field, the body of the American sociologist Robert Bellah's work spans the social sciences and comparative cultural fields. It embraces the global diversity and coherence of religion as the key to culture across civilizations and epochs within the framework of human evolution. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Religion; Bellah, Robert (b. 1927)]
